I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at PagerDuty (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2016
Interview
Phone screen with the recruiter, 30 minute phone screen with the department manager, 30 minute coding challenge.
The people I spoke with made it seem like what they needed was someone with a strong background in managing systems through automation, but then gave me a test directed specifically at someone with a programming background. The person conducting the technical portion of my interview didn't even work in the department that I was interviewing for. As a result the coding challenge didn't appear to be all that relevant to the job I was interviewing for. I was expecting a technical interview focused on server administration and automation.
Under these circumstances I was caught off guard and as a result performed far worse than I would have under normal conditions. Not really happy about that, but I think it comes down to the poor definition of "DevOps" rather than my skills or the position they were looking to fill at the company. If presented with a more appropriate technical interview, I have no doubt they would have made an offer.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at PagerDuty in Jan 2013
Interview
I joined when we were 11 people. A third party recruiter called first, followed by our CTO, then face to face interviews (2 technical, 1 culture). Overall it was nice, technical questions was OK, not very hard
